Sent to the countryside, I turned the health center into a top-tier hospital.

The sky in the mountains is completely dark, unlike the continuous lights of the city, with only a few streetlights casting a dim yellow glow along the roadside.

A gentle evening breeze dispelled the daytime heat and aggression, leaving behind a refreshing coolness.

Chen Ping, Zhao Guosheng, and Lin Xiaoran walked side by side toward the health center. The atmosphere was peaceful, and the pent-up frustration of the whole day finally dissipated.

When I returned to the courtyard, the canteen had just finished preparing dinner, and the aroma of the food filled the entire courtyard with wisps of smoke.

Cui Ying had been waiting for them to come back for dinner. When she saw Lin Xiaoran walk in, she immediately greeted her with a smile and said warmly, "Xiaoran, you came all the way to the health center and didn't even get to see me."

"But we have something to do. If we go to the police station a little later, Dean Zhao might have already been eaten by that family."

Lin Xiaoran smiled and said.

"Don't leave tonight. It's dark and unsafe in the countryside at night. Just go straight to the hospital."

Cui Ying took Lin Xiaoran's arm and said, "Let's share a room."

Lin Xiaoran nodded slightly: "Then I won't stand on ceremony, but will it disturb your intimate moment with Dr. Chen?"

"Don't bother us. Wouldn't it be better if you just stood by and watched while we get intimate?"

Cui Ying said half-jokingly.

In fact, Cui Ying was very perceptive. She could tell that Lin Xiaoran harbored different feelings for Chen Ping, and that her admiration and affection for him were impossible to hide.

But she never overthinks or harbors suspicions.

Loving someone is never about binding or being suspicious, but about complete trust.

She believed in Chen Ping's character, his bottom line, and their relationship. So even though there were outstanding people around her who admired Chen Ping, she remained open and composed.

Moreover, although that statement was a joke, it was also a way of asserting his ownership over Lin Xiaoran.

Lin Xiaoran paused for a moment, then patted Cui Ying on the shoulder, "I don't like watching that kind of thing, I'm afraid of getting conjunctivitis."

"Alright, it's time to eat, the food will get cold soon."

Seeing that the two were getting more and more outrageous, Chen Ping quickly changed the subject.

"Let's go eat..."

Cui Ying pulled Lin Xiaoran into the cafeteria.

The group sat down and began to eat. The table was set with a mix of meat and vegetables, and the home-style dishes were steaming hot.

Zhao Guosheng picked up his rice bowl, looked at Lin Xiaoran sitting quietly to the side, his face full of sincere gratitude, and his tone was particularly earnest.

"Thanks so much for what happened today, Attorney Lin."

"We've lived in the countryside for a long time, and when we encounter these medical disputes, we can't even win an argument with those unruly villagers. We just can't do anything about them."

"You're so professional. You explained the situation clearly and logically in just a few words, making the pros and cons crystal clear, and you managed to intimidate that family on the spot."

"It was precisely because you were there to corroborate and define the nature of the incident that the police station acted so decisively and issued a punishment decision directly. Otherwise, this matter might have dragged on for a long time, and in the end, we would most likely have suffered in silence."

Lin Xiaoran waved her hand and said, "Dean Zhao, you're too kind. I'm the legal counsel for our health center, so of course I have to speak up for the hospital."

"The most crucial point is that our health center is in the right, complies with regulations throughout the entire process, and has a complete chain of evidence; otherwise, no matter what anyone says, it's useless."

After dinner, those who were supposed to go home went home, and those who were supposed to go back to their dormitories went back to their dormitories.

The five interns were whispering to each other around a stone table in the backyard, and did not go back to their dormitories.

Chen Ping, Cui Ying, and Lin Xiaoran came out of the cafeteria and saw the five people discussing something.

"Why aren't you guys back in the dorm yet? It's really cold in the mountains tonight. Don't forget to wear warm clothes while you're out and about!"

Chen Ping looked at the five people and gave them some words of advice with concern.

"Dr. Chen, we've finished eating and are just sitting around, would that be alright if we went for a walk at the foot of the mountain behind the house?"

"We just heard the sound of a stream behind the mountain. It must be a mountain brook. We'll just go for a walk at the foot of the mountain. We definitely won't go deep into the mountains or wander around."

Zhang Lei followed Chen Ping's lead and spoke.

The other four quickly chimed in, chattering and pleading.

"Yes, Dr. Chen, let's go get some fresh air and digest our food!"

"We won't go far; we'll stay at the foot of the mountain where there's a good view!"

"We promise to obey!"

The five young people had bright, sparkling eyes, full of youthful energy and looking exceptionally pure.

Chen Ping initially didn't want them to go because of the dampness in the mountains at night, but he couldn't resist their persistent pleading and their energetic appearance, and eventually softened his heart.

He shook his head helplessly and solemnly instructed, "You can go play for a while, but remember the rules."

"First, you are only allowed to move around at the foot of the mountain and cannot take a single step up the mountain."

"Secondly, you are not allowed to wade in the water or touch anything in the mountains without permission. It's cold now, not summer anymore."

"Third, everyone must be back by 9 p.m. sharp, no delays allowed."

"Did you remember?"

"I've got it! Thank you, Dr. Chen!"

The five were overjoyed, their faces instantly breaking into bright smiles. They responded repeatedly, then turned and skipped towards the health center gate, their backs light and carefree, radiating youthful energy.

Watching the five young people walk away, Cui Ying sighed softly, her eyes filled with tender envy.

"It's so nice to be young, carefree and without any worries."

Lin Xiaoran nodded slightly upon hearing this, her gaze drifting towards the dark back mountain, and softly echoed, "Yes, we were like that when we first graduated and entered society."

"Curious about everything, full of energy, full of anticipation for all new things, untouched by the hardships of life, clean and pure."

"We can never go back to the way we are now; we've become very pragmatic about everything."

"Okay!" Cui Ying nodded.

"You two should hurry back to the dorm, it's too cold outside."

After finishing his sentence, Chen Ping went straight back to his dormitory.

If it were just Cui Ying by herself, Chen Ping might have stayed with her by the stone table, chatting, hugging, and kissing.

But Chen Ping didn't have that much courage in front of Lin Xiaoran.

Rather than being stuck between the two, I'd rather go back to my dorm and lie down.

If something is said inappropriately, it could be misunderstood by Cui Ying, which would be troublesome.

Chen Ping took out his phone and opened Honor of Kings.

He needs to wait for the five interns to return before he can sleep peacefully; he'll play a game in the meantime.

"Ultimate move! Ultimate move! Control the dragon! Control the dragon!"

"Damn, what's going on? We can't even beat super minions?"

"Oops, I lost again..."

Chen Ping played several games in a row, losing more than he won, so he quit the game.

Looking at the time, it was almost nine o'clock, so Chen Ping got up and left the dormitory.

Arriving at the front yard, he looked towards the gate.

Soon, five figures appeared, and Chen Ping's heart, which had been hanging in suspense, finally settled down.

However, these five people were walking in an awkward posture and were walking very slowly.

Chen Ping hurried over and noticed that all five of them looked unwell; they were pale, frowning, and clutching their stomachs, appearing to be in great pain.

Just as Chen Ping was about to ask what was going on, the group of people quickly ran towards the toilet.

Chen Ping waited outside, his face full of doubt.

When the group of people came out of the toilet one after another, they were all bent over in pain, with cold sweat pouring down their foreheads.

Chen Ping's face darkened, and he asked, "What happened? What were you doing on the back hill just now? Why is everyone having stomach aches?"

Wang Hao clutched his stomach, looking pained. "Dr. Chen...we...we didn't wander off or touch anything."

"I just couldn't resist drinking a few sips of the crystal-clear water in the stream behind the mountain, which looked much cleaner than tap water..."

Liu Zixuan, who was standing next to him, also managed to speak up: "We thought the mountain spring water was all-natural, sweet and thirst-quenching, but who knew that not long after we drank it, our stomachs started to cramp in waves..."

After hearing this, Chen Ping was both angry and helpless.

They're just kids, they think it's clean and they'll eat it without knowing anything about the ways of the mountains.

The mountain stream may look crystal clear, but it actually harbors bacteria, insect eggs, and cold, dampness. City dwellers with delicate stomachs simply cannot withstand it.
